CRAFT911 Candy Thermometer with Pot Clip - Deep Fry Oil Thermometer for Frying and Candle Making (White)

Love it , easy to read

Key points: easy to read for its size, solid construction seems durable, speed to temperature is pretty fast but obviously not as fast as an instant read, length good for deep pots, can also be used as a meat thermometer in a pinch. Though I would prefer instant read for meats. Taking off the red rubber tip may seem obvious, but I have a feeling that the people saying it’s not accurate are accidentally leaving it on. I tested the accuracy with boiling water and it sat right at 212°. So it is highly accurate. Also, make sure the tip of the probe sits approximately halfway between the top of the liquid and the bottom of pan.

Works as advertised! Well worth the money.

So far, so good; BUT: it was over 20 degrees F off! Luckily the calibration instructions were easy to follow, and it adjusts easily.

Great for making Caramel! It came packaged while with a thank you note. Good Quality thermometer!

Exactly what I needed for making my maple syrup. Much more reliable than the digital one that I had to hold and burn my fingers …lol

Excellent for frying frozen foods

I know it's not meant to be fast but it is excruciatingly slow to measure the temperature that it kind of defeats the purpose of "taking the pan off the heat at so-and-so temperature" because the food has already reached that temperature long before the thermometer can measure it...

Perfect

The ad shows it as coming in a box. Mine came loose in an Amazon envelope and no instructions. Arrow is not on zero but instead is on 22 degrees. No way to calibrate it. If you want your liquid to be 350 degrees I suppose you would have to wait until the arrow points to 372 degrees. Guess I'll have to forego the dollars spent on this and purchase a better one.

I used this once when i bought it a year ago. Reached for it recently and found it to be broken. The stem was completely snapped away from the body. It was in my kitchen drawer and obviously too fragile.
